red wine with pasta and pizza

I’m celebrating National Poetry Month by writing and reading poetry, every day. My poetry project is grows out of a list of things that make me happy. I made this list on the 30th of March.

The nineteenth idea on my list is red wine with pasta and pizza.


the
rich red
berry
scent
couples
with
stretched
cheese
caught
and
licked
off
fingers
that
grasp the glass
tumbler

piles of pasta
serve as chaperone
insisting upon
a napkin
and
civility
is restored
